Pictured above, the new Stalbridge flag hangs as a pennant, rather than the traditional rectangular flag shape. This shows off more of the design of the flag, which depicts the ancient market cross in Stalbridge High Street.

The design of the Stalbridge Flag is based on an original watercolour painting, pictured above and painted by local Stalbridge artist Tony Wood.
